[Promomx2]

I'm making my infant gs a bam-bam halloween costume. I looked at Joanne's and can't find the fabric- orange with black triangles. Now I 'm looking online but can't find it. Any suggestions?

Can you buy orange fabric and sew (or fabric glue) on black felt triangles?

Are there any Bam Bam costumes in the stores? Maybe you could cut one down to fit? Could you just get some orange material and glue black triangles to it?

Use felt. Buy the orange in regular yardage, and then buy a smaller amount of the black and cut the triangles. You can attach with fabric glue or craft glue or hot glue, or you can stitch them on (glue works just as well and is easier). I made a big tropical fish costume for DS when he was 2 and pieced it with felt like this and it is still intact 18 years later (LOL yes i saved it!)

I was inspired to do this Bamm Bamm costume by my two toddlers who are Pebbles and Bamm Bamm. I started looking for a realistic looking Bamm Bamm costume and couldn't find one anywhere.

I decided to find a picture of Bamm Bamm from a Flintstone costume and do the best I could. I used felt for the skirt. I made all my own patterns from my children's clothing. I simply traced an outline of a skirt, allowed for the hem and sewed it together. The waist is elastic. You just turn the fabric down on the inside, stitch it half way around, insert the elastic and stitch the ends together. Then tuck the elastic under the turned down fabric and finish stitching. I cut triangles out of black felt and stitched them on. The strap is a piece of faux fur bought at an any fabric store.

You measure from hip bone around the opposite shoulder and down to the back of the hip bone area (where the strap will be). It is backed with felt so it doesn't scratch. The bone is a piece of felt with black zigzag stitching where I drew markings of a bone. You cut two slits through the strap and insert the bone. Stitch the strap and the bone to the costume in the front. Just put a large safety pin in the back, this will allow for any adjustments.

The hat is an orange hat from any store covered in the same felt as the skirt. I sewed the felt on but it can also be glued on with fabric glue. Then I cut triangles out of black felt and stitched them on. The bat if felt with brown zigzag stitching to look like wood. It is sewn like a pillow and stuffed with batting.

That's basically it for this Flintstone costume. It's very simple, inexpensive and takes about one and a half hours to make.

Total Spent: $8

I'd buy the plain orange fabric and draw the triangles on with a sharpie.

This was my first thought, too!
